Sony shared today final details on this year's PlayStation Awards, and also opened up fan voting.

The annual PlayStation Awards have been a PlayStation tradition since the original 32-bit system was first released back in 1995. Originally, the awards were given to games that sold 500,000 units or above. In recent years, Sony has added a "special" award for PlayStation Store downloads, and last year created a fan voted "Users Choice" award.

This year, the user selected awards will be span two categories, Users Choice and World Game. Any game released from 11/1/2010 to 10/31/2011 qualifies for the Users Choice Award. The top 10 vote getters will get the prize. The World Game award has the same release date restrictions, but the game has to have been made outside of Japan. The top three vote getters will receive the award.
